Healing Time

Rejuvenation
It is the gold standard in face and neck lift surgery and only a handful of surgeons in Australia are experienced in performing it.
With Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift surgery, there is typically:
- Less swelling
- Less bruising
- No “pulled” skin.

Recovery
What sets Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift surgery apart is that it repositions the deeper tissue layers and there is less disruption of the lymphatics.
This explains why there is typically less bruising, swelling and down-time when compared with other facelift procedures.
I provide detailed instructions guiding my patients in how they can best support their post-op healing process at home.
Lifestyle habits including rest, gentle exercise, hydration, sun protection, eating fresh and vital food, and maintaining strong connections with friends, family and community all make a difference.
Reveal
While everyone’s experience is unique, most of my patients emerge from initial recovery in ten days to two weeks post-surgery.

- Factor in healing time,
- Keep it real! From your initial consultation and into your future, communication is key.
- Ensure all your questions are answered.
